Product Details
Twenty-seven years on Robben Island, and he walked out without bitterness. That fact alone puts Mandela in a category apart from almost any other human being of the twentieth century. Legacy in Blue: the title reflects the contemplative palette of this painting — cooler, quieter, the face of a man looking back at a life that cost everything and gave a whole country back to itself. A portrait for someone who understands what that took.
Nelson Mandela: Legacy in Blue is an original hand-painted Nelson Mandela oil and acrylic painting on canvas — expressive brushwork in my distinctive graffiti-art-influenced style. Painted to your size by Richard Day.

Richard's bold, high-contrast style works particularly well as a statement piece — above a sofa, in a hallway, or as the focal point of a room. If you're unsure about sizing or placement, drop us a message and we'll help.
